Lieutenant Disher: How you doin'? We were looking at this case all wrong. It wasn't a burglary. It was all about the wall. The whole time. Here's what happened. The killer was in here last Thursday night. This is where he met Michelle Cullman. They have an artist in here a few nights a week sketching the customers. He drew their picture right there on the wall. After the murder, the killer remembered the sketch. That sketch could hang him. It could prove that he was with the victim the night she died. And it would prove what he was wearing. The same shirt we found at the murder scene. He had to destroy that sketch. So he smashed through the wall and pretended it was part of a burglary. He just pretended to be breaking into a pawn shop. It was never about the pawnshop.
Female Cop: I know.
Lieutenant Disher: You know?
Female Cop: I was here ten minutes ago when Monk was explaining it to you.

Adrian Monk: "Once upon a time in a kingdom called San Francisco, there lived a brave little prince. And his name was Tommy Grazer. Tommy lived with a wicked king and queen. The queen was very greedy. She loved gold, and she wanted more and more. The queen had a plan. She would find a young fiddler from a wealthy family and kidnap him and hold him for ransom. They locked the fiddler in a dungeon. The fiddler's family was very sad. They would do anything to get him back. The wicked king and queen needed to prove that they were serious, so they chopped off the fiddler's finger and planned to leave it in the park. But Prince Tommy was very brave and very smart. He liked to reach into ladies' purses. He reached into the queen's purse and he grabbed the finger." That's where you found it, isn't it?
Tommy: Yeah.
Adrian Monk: "Then Tommy made a new friend named Mr. Monk. Mr. Monk remembered something that the wicked queen said: 'The kid found a pinkie. It's no big deal.' How did she know the missing finger was a pinkie? The police never released that information." And then, the most wonderful and surprising thing of all happened. Mr. Monk discovered that he loved that little prince. But he also realized that the little prince could never live happily ever after if he stayed at Mr. Monk's house, because Mr. Monk can barely take care of himself. And so, they're gonna have to say good-bye. The end.

Dr. Lawrence Climan: We are going to take a little trip together, you and I. We are going back in time. Going back before the pain. Before the fear.
Adrian Monk: Before the fear.
Dr. Lawrence Climan: Good. You're with Trudy now.
Adrian Monk: No, no! Trudy. I'm gonna lose her again. I'm gonna lose her again!
Dr. Lawrence Climan: Okay, okay. We're moving on. We're- We're- We're moving back a little further. Now, you're in high school.
Adrian Monk: It's third period. It's gym class. They're gonna make me climb that rope. I can't climb that rope.
I can't, please don't make me climb that rope.
Dr. Lawrence Climan: Okay, okay, no, no. We're moving back, moving back. Further back. Way back. Before the fear. Here we go. We are going back. [Monk smiles] Is that a smile? Are you happy? [Monk nods] Adrian, where are you? Where are you?

Lieutenant Disher: We're going to have to search all of these, with your permission, of course.
Aaron Larkin: Yeah, sure, be my guest. Whatever you need. You might not believe this, but, I want my wife found as much as you do. I've got nothing to hide.
Adrian Monk: Oh, I think you do. I think you have plenty to hide. He's in love with her.
Emily Carter: What?
Adrian Monk: I bet they want to get married, and go on a honeymoon, and, you know, kiss.
Emily Carter: Who, who is this person?
Adrian Monk: Look at his face. He's turning all red. Just admit it. You want to marry her. It's all over town.
Emily Carter: What does that mean?
Aaron Larkin: It's all right, Emily. This is Adrian Monk. He's famous. He's the best detective in California. And yeah, it's true. Emily and I are involved. As a matter of fact, I was with Emily the night Sally disappeared.
Lieutenant Disher: Well, if that checks out, it looks like you have an alibi then.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Why didn't you tell us before?
Aaron Larkin: Well, Captain, it's a little, complicated.
Emily Carter: I'm technically still married.
Aaron Larkin: We've been keeping it secret for three years, But you saw right through it in two minutes, Mr. Monk. Well done. I am curious, though, how did you... What gave us away?
Adrian Monk: Cinchy. I saw you drinking out of her water bottle without wiping it off. You weren't afraid of her cooties.
Emily Carter: My cooties.

Dr. Lawrence Climan: You're safe. Okay? All your doubts, All your fears, are falling away. They're falling away. Can you feel them? Can you feel them falling away? Don't say anything. Just nod your head.
Adrian Monk: I'm nodding my head.
Dr. Lawrence Climan: But don't say you're nodding your head. Just nod your head.
Adrian Monk: I'm nodding my head.
Dr. Lawrence Climan: No, don't say you're nodding your head. Just nod your head.
Adrian Monk: I am nodding my head.
Dr. Lawrence Climan: Okay, forget the nodding.
